Offtopic datapoint: here in my NZ office all signals are WPA encoded,<br>
from various APs I don't control (but can use). "Certain" is<br>
unfortunately around 80-90% of the cases.<br>

Is trac being used reasonably to track firmware issues? Checked<br>
earlier today - 'component = wireless' and 'summary contains libertas'<br>
kinda sorta give an overview. False matches and untriaged issues<br>
abound so it doesn't seem like anyone's looking at that "view"
of the<br>
data.<br>
<br>
(Me, I only sleep when by this trac "view" tells me to:<br>

)<br>
<br>
Perhaps Michails has a spreadsheet or wikipage hiding somewhere? ;-)<br>
You guys have been doing a ton of development (both features,<br>
bugfixes) dealing with several moving parts -- notes of "what works<br>
where" and "what clearly barfs" must be collected somewhere.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
